Franchise

What does franchise mean? Franchise is a vertical cooperation and sales system of independent entrepreneurs. The cooperation in a franchise system refers to a franchise package - made available by the franchisor and used by the franchisee for a consideration. Our office team is specialised in franchise and would like to support you in all matters.

The Franchise Agreement

A franchise agreement governs the legal relationship between the franchisee and the franchisor. For a consideration, the franchisor grants the franchisee the right to market certain products and/or services using the name rights and rights of use granted to it. As a rule, the agreement covers the use of the name, brand and corporate layout of the franchisor and the commercial and technical experience of the franchisee with due regard to the organisational and advertising system developed by the franchisor.

The franchise package covers the organisational, technical and commercial know-how and the legal framework required for the production or sale of certain products or services. To enable proper exercise of the right to inspect the accounting books, identical accounting systems of the franchisees are an indispensable prerequisite. The franchisee must be obligated to submit to the franchisor the sums and the subsidiary trial balances of the individual months as well as the annual financial statements, consisting of the balance sheet, profit and loss account and, if applicable, the management report and/or the income and expenditure statement.

To be able to evaluate the sales in the system it is necessary to include a provision in the agreement stating that the franchisee - differences depending on the system - is to keep sales statistics.
